Australia's Most Popular Balloon Ride

It's a big claim but its true - more people fly with us than with any other balloon operator in Australia and not just sometimes, it's every year from 2005 to now. Combining Queensland year round environment with a very low cancellation rate due to the stable wind and weather, we are able to fly most days of the year, not just seasonally. This leads to some of the best pricing available to customers.

Meet our friendly and fun crew, float up to watch the sun rise over the rolling hills of the majestic Gold Coast Hinterland and top off your morning with a glass of crisp, cold sparkling bubbles, and a delicious hot breakfast in the gracious ambience of O'Reilly's Vineyard's historic Grand Homestead.
